\section{Parsers and variables}\label{general.parser}
The XML configuration file is evaluated by two parsers. In a first step a text parser is applied.
In the second step mathematical expressions are resolved to a number.
Variables (see section~\reference{variables}{general.configFiles:variables}) can be referenced via their
name directly for the expression parser or in the form \verb|{name}| for the text parser.
